Enemy's Trap (4th Gen #1)

Chapter 21(2)

"Calling the attention of all to please be seated because the party is about to start." The emcee announced.

Heixon guided her to their table. Heixon's family were already there and she can't help to feel a slight nervous.

"Hija, you're so beautiful!" Mainit na bungad sa kanya ng ina ng asawa.

"Thank you po, you look so gorgeous, Mommy." Bati niya pabalik rito. "Good evening, Dad. You look so handso---"

"Don't you ever say it, wife-baby. I should be the only one who's handsome in your eyes." Putol sa kanya ng binata.

She glared at him. Seloso!

"Tsk. You're too possessive, son." Napailing na lang ang ama but he has smile on his face. He seems so proud pa!

"Nagsalita ang hindi." Hirit ng mother-in-law niya

"I love you, wife." Sagot nalang ng ama.

Natigil lamang sila ng may tumikhim.

"A little respect for a single here." Saad ni Dence sa kanila. She can't help but to laugh.

"Magpakasal ka na kasi." Pang-aasar ni Heixon dito.

Napailing na lang si Dence. "Nah. My woman is not brave enough to fight for me."

Her mouth formed 'o' on what he said. She wasn't Dence to say that. Well, hindi lang siya makapaniwala na marunong magmahal si Dence.

"Tsk. Baka naman kasi hindi ka niya mahal." Pang-aasar pa ng asawa niya, kaya siniko niya ito para patigilin.

"Oh, shut up, torpe." Ganti naman ni Dence sa asawa.

Akmang magsasalita ang binata ng kurutin niya ito.

"Magtigil ka, Heixon Marcus."

"Oo na, wife-baby."

Umupo na sila dahil nagsisimula na ang party. She was entertained by the performance of Benjamins who have talent on singing, dancing and playing instruments. They were good, especially those Benjamin girls who performed acapella, and Henjel was also performing. Kaya pala wala sa table nila.

Pagkatapos mag perform ng kapatid ni Heixon ay agad na tumungo ito sa kinaroroonan nila.

"Mommy, daddy, kuya's!"

"Baby, hindi ka dapat tumakbo. Baka nadapa ka." Marahang pangangaral ng daddy nito.

"Okay, Daddy, I'm sorry. But I did perform well, right?"

"Of course, baby. You are the best."

The little girl giggled. When she turned on her direction her smile went wider.

"Tita Goddess!"

Agad na nagpakandong sa kanya ang bata.

"Hi, little angel. I love your performance, you stand out." She complimented.

"Really po? Owemji!" The little girl hide her face using her own hand. "I'm so shy and kilig, a goddess compliment me."

She can't help but to laugh. She's so adorable! Gusto niyang kagatin ang pisngi nito at iuwi na lamang sa kanila.

When she felt that Heixin was staring she look at him.

"What?"

"You look so good with Henjel. It makes me wanna impregnate you." He said in serious tone.

Napaawang ang labi niya habang bumilis ang tibok ng puso niya.

"Heixon..."

"But I can wait. I just can't help it." He smiled and place a kiss in her temple.

Her heart won't stop beating loud. Heixon...is a good hhusband, no, he's the best. Hindi niya alam kung makakahanap pa siya ng tulad nito.

"Thank you, Marcus. I want to ready myself first and spend more time with you muna." She said to him.

"Yes, wife-baby." Hinawakan nito ang kamay niya at hinalikan ang likod ng kanyang palad.

"Wanna go on a date with me tomorrow?"

Lumaki ang ngiti niya. "Sure."

"Okay, wala ng bawian." Ngumisi ang binata sa kanya. His face were screaming happiness.

"You're so sweet. It makes me wanna transfer to Kuya Dence, I don't want to disturb the both of you." Singit ni Henjel.

She can't help but to chuckle. "Okay, baby." Binaba niya ito at agad naman itong nagpakandong sa isa pa nitong kuya.

There's a video presentation about the first Benjamin and his wife. Charmie Fonraquias look so gorgeous on her young days. It was her wedding day and the day she became a Benjamin. The next video was her giving birth and she gasped when the camera recorded on how the great and might Jayce Vasco lost his consciousness. The video continue, some were shedding tears probably missing their mom or grandmother.

And there she realized that she can only few of the second generation of the Benjamin.

"The son and daughters of the first Benjamin seems to be private." Sabi niya sa binata.

"Yes. Lolo and his siblings were not really publicized. Lolo Jayce hid there identity to the world to avoid harn from the enemy."

Napatango-tango siya. Benjamins are not normal family. They have dark past and secrets but they remain soar high.

"But on our generation, we're not part of any illegal business, tho there's a few who join it. Tho, on Dad's some were refused to do some illegal business." Dugtong pa ng binata

"You're not part of it?" Tanong niya rito.

Umiling ang binata. "Nah. I don't want to danger you."

Pinaikutan niya ito ng mata.

"Bolero."

He just chuckle.

The program is now done so they proceed to late dinner. Kaya ang mga Benjamin ay nagtipon sa isang mahabang parihabang mesa kung saan sila pinagkasya roon.

It  so long that they cab move freely, but Heixon pull her seat closer to him. Kulang na nga lang ay subuan oa siya nito.

"Heixon, I can manage." Pigil niya rito ng akmang kukunan siya nito ng pagkain.

"No, just let me, wife-baby."

Kaya pinabayaan na niya ang binata.

"Hays, the young generation of the Benjamin seems so fragile." The first son of the first Benjamin talked. So far, they could still hear each other. Maybe there's a mic or speaker inside the room they occupied.

"You mean marupok?" Sagot naman ng kapatid nito.

The people laugh and so she is. Tapos na sa paglalagay ang binata ng kanyang pagkain kaya kumain na siya.

"Back in our days, we were so tough. No one could break us." Kwento ng kambal ng unang anak ni Lolo Jayce Vasco.

Kanya-kanya namang sang-ayon ang nga kapatid nito kaya nagsi-pagtikhiman ang nga asawa nito. Natahimik tuloy ang nga ito na siyang ikinatawa nila.

"Okay, we were tough until we met our lovely wives." Dugtong nito.

Now, she agree that being a Benjamin's partner is being damn lucky.

Stories after stories, talk after talk, when Gun Benjamin, the first son, make a sound using the small bell on his hand calling all their attentions.

"Now, let's not make it any longer. Let's start the tradition of our family for the newly weds."
